What an assessment for CPPFES2027 must cover

35 assessable components: 5 elements (19 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan and prepare for service operation.

  • 1.1Read work instructions to clarify service timeframes, client needs, and site and equipment locations.
  • 1.2Discuss planned service procedures with relevant persons to clarify client needs and expectations.
  • 1.3Plan work activities to comply with relevant Australian Standards, regulatory, work health and safety (WHS) and workplace requirements.
  • 1.4Clarify system type and application, extinguishing agent and method of operation to identify potential and actual breaches of rules and regulations and take required action to ensure compliance according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 1.5Select and use required tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • 1.6Arrange access to worksite and communicate with responsible entity and affected persons to advise duration and impact of planned service procedures and to ensure alternative safety arrangements are implemented.
  • 1.7Identify and prepare to control hazards in the work area according to workplace requirements.

2 Inspect and survey installed non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression system.

  • 2.1Locate and inspect fire-suppression system components according to function and manufacturer requirements.
  • 2.2Locate and inspect auxiliary shutdown devices of fire-suppression system or equipment interfaces and alarm devices forming part of the system.
  • 2.3Identify and record changes to the system and protected space or its use that do not comply with the relevant Australian Standard or original installation requirements.

3 Test installed non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression system.

  • 3.1Carry out system testing procedures according to the relevant maintenance schedule specified in Australian Standards and manufacturer requirements.
  • 3.2Record test results and identified defects according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

4 Maintain and repair installed non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression system.

  • 4.1Carry out system maintenance procedures according to the relevant maintenance schedule, manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 4.2Report and repair or replace defective equipment or extinguishant according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 4.3Record maintenance results and details of defective components according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

5 Finalise service operation.

  • 5.1Reinstate fire-suppression system as fully operational according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 5.2Complete service documentation detailing outstanding defects and recommended rectifications according to Australian Standards, regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 5.3Check tools and equipment for faults, wear or damage and rectify or report problems according to workplace requirements.
  • 5.4Leave client premises in a clean and tidy condition.

Performance evidence

  • inspecting, testing and maintaining two non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems installed in different locations and using different extinguishing agents
  • replacing the agent and recharging the system to operational condition
  • replacing one component within the extinguishing system with approved replacement componentry
  • replacing one component within the detection system with approved replacement componentry

Knowledge evidence

  • action to take when a breach of regulation, work health and safety (WHS) or other policy occurs when inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems
  • hazards and risks typically encountered when inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems: electrical, hazardous materials, moving parts
  • implications of applying incorrect inspection, testing and maintenance procedures
  • implications of not complying with safety, regulatory or manufacturer requirements when inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems
  • key features of legislation, regulations, codes and Australian Standards relevant to inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems: environmental protection, limitations of maintenance and repair functions that may be conducted by fire protection technicians, maintenance schedules, National Construction Code (NCC) and deemed-to-satisfy requirements, records and documentation
  • procedures for inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems to verify operation in line with manufacturer requirements
  • purpose of fire-suppression system shutdown and isolation during maintenance
  • types and purpose of non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems
  • types of extinguishing agents, their characteristics and use
  • types and purpose of major components used in fixed installed non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems: actuators: mechanical, pyrotechnic and solenoid; agent discharge nozzles; agent distribution pipework and hoses; container valves; control equipment; detection devices; extinguishing agent containers, such as tanks and cylinders; support brackets
  • types and purpose of tools and equipment used when inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems: hand and power tools; pressurising equipment; personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • workplace requirements for inspecting, testing and maintaining non-gaseous pre-engineered fire-suppression systems: maintenance of tools and equipment; WHS, including hazard and risk identification and control.

Questions about assessing CPPFES2027

What does an assessment tool for CPPFES2027 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPFES2027 needs to address all 35 unit components: 5 elements with 19 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 12 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CPPFES2027?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPFES2027 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CPPFES2027 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPFES2027 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CPPFES2027, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
